Update: Both drivers involved in the April 18 fatal crash on Donelson Pike face charges. Curt Scott, 47, who was driving a Chevrolet Silverado, surrendered himself today. Scott, of Smyrna, is charged with vehicular homicide by reckless conduct and aggravated assault. Investigation showed that Scott was traveling 54 mph in a 35 mph zone. An arrest warrant charging DUI has been issued against the driver of the Mercury Mystique, Derrius Sanders, 42, of Nashville. Odell was his passenger.
The passenger of the Mercury Mystique killed in this morning’s 6:30 a.m. crash on Donelson Pike at the I-40 East entrance ramp has been identified as Kimberly Odell, 56, of LaVergne. The preliminary investigation indicates a Chevrolet Silverado was traveling northbound on Donelson Pike when it approached a yellow light and the Mercury turned left in front of it, causing the Silverado to strike the passenger’s side door of the Mercury.
Odell, the front seat passenger, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died.
Neither driver was wearing their seatbelts. Both were transported to Vanderbilt with non-life threatening injuries.
Toxicology testing will be conducted on the 41-year-old driver of the Mercury to determine whether impairment played a role in this fatal crash.
